Friday, You're Only a Day Away

Today was Thursday.

This is important to note mainly because for about twenty-four hours, from yesterday afternoon until this afternoon, I thought it was Friday.

Yes. I thought it was Friday when it was only Thursday.

And so. 

Well.

I don't even know what to say.

I get an extra day to do stuff?

I thought we were so much closer to the weekend...

But I get more time to plow through my laundry?

I even took the garbage down to the alley yesterday so that it would be all ready bright and early this morning.

It's like I'm taking procrastination down! I said,"Hey! You like to procrastinate? Well, how about this?! How about being a FULL DAY EARLY, HUH?! How do you like them apples?!"

And then I said back to myself,"Apples? I need to go to Sam's and get some fruit. I wonder if blueberries are still crazy expensive? I must not forget contact solution!" Michaela and I are almost out. 

What I'm really doing right now is procrastinating. I've got a fierce kitchen to tackle. But before I do, I'm going to stick some pictures of Eliana on here because I took some of her today, and she's awfully cute. Also? Procrastinating!

She and Michaela took it upon themselves to further tidy up the bookshelf that I cleaned up the other day (Really I cleaned up in front of the bookshelf...now you can actually stand in front of it and get stuff off of it!) and during that process, Eliana came across this notebook that has pages with a space for a picture and then lines for a story. She began a story. 

"Kate had a hat. The hat had a bat that came with it. The bat came with a ball." Then she drew a picture of Kate playing ball with a friend. So cute!! Usually she wants me to tell her how to spell things the right way, but before she started, I told her to write the words how she thought they sounded. She did a pretty good job too. 

Since she was feeling independent today, she also wanted to make her own sandwich for lunch. I was hoping that she would be more inclined to eat it if she made it. 

She ate about half of it. I also put Nutella on it. That helped. Ha!

Later in the day, she wanted to paint. Painting doesn't make nearly the mess that it used to and I was getting dinner ready, so I thought,"Why not?" 

She informed me that she was making something for Christian. They really do love each other. This morning they were singing,"I love you," back and forth at breakfast. They were eating doughnuts, but I actually think they were singing to one another. 

And now the washing machine is going, I've got my laundry sorted out so that I can truly plow through it, and the kitchen awaits. The night is still young for me, I'm afraid. And I can't even sleep in tomorrow, because have you heard...?

Tomorrow is Friday. This time, it's for real.
